“There was almost no blueprint for queer women of color to have children, let alone by themselves,” performance artist Staceyann Chin said. - NBCOUT
Chin, who moved to New York City in 1997 after being attacked for being a lesbian in Jamaica, her home country, said her confusion surrounding pregnancy was compounded by the fact that as a single black immigrant, she was subjected to harsher stereotypes regarding motherhood.
The pathway to motherhood was arduous, Chin said. In addition to finding a sperm donor, Chin underwent in vitro fertilization. Once she became pregnant, she said she was constantly being judged by strangers. Chin chronicled her experiences in “MotherStruck,” a one-woman off-Broadway play that debuted in 2015. The performance was directed by “Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon and produced by TV personality Rosie O’Donnell. But Chin isn't finished telling her story., a media and entertainment brand for parents, to adapt"MotherStruck" into series.
